Sucks for USAW. Have quite a few friends competing and notcrowds kill the whole AO series experience. Was going to be one hell of an event with a good bit of Olympic hopefuls in the mix too.

A petition that went around cancelled the show. It was in fear of the caronavirus.

Rogue announced they were still doing the live stream which starts at noon on Friday. They announced yesterday that spectators with tickets could still attend to watch the contests but I saw today that the mayor and governor are threatening to cancel everything if they allow spectators. It seems like something different comes out every few hours on it.

Here’s the strongman schedule if anyone is interested. The times are EST I believe

Dang that sucks.

My wife almost went with her trainer and training partner, ended up not being able to get off work last minute. They are over there now, though. Been planning the trip since last year. That's rough.

It's in Ohio? Didn't know we even had any cases in the US officially.

The crowd is larger than I was expecting it to be. They were saying it would be an empty arena.
